In this video, Berklee Online instructor Erin Barra explains the synthesizer basics on amplitude, filters, envelopes, oscillators, frequency, timbre, LFO, and modulation. She goes into detail about how amplitude works, how an envelope shapes the evolution of a sound, how oscillators work in synthesizers, and how frequency is really just the number of times a waveform repeats each second and is measured.

I've seen various videos on sound design and synth fundamentals but this explained it so well that I actually understood these things for the first time. Every example, simile, metaphor, and analogy was ON POINT and helped me grasp the concepts better. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Berklee_Online Do you guys have a specific course for only synths?
I've attended various institutions of higher education, and never have I seen an educator like this. This was absolutely incredible.
@kaz z Wow! Nobody cares! Thanks for the input though
@@NathanIsABAMF thats not very nnice
Fully agree
I love how you incorporate daily examples from our lives to explain the basics, its the best way for me to understand, thank you
Happy to help!
Wish everyone explained sound design easily like this
Notice how well she defines the words used, such as envelope or frequency. This is so good for understanding
Great explanation on synthesis , complex ideas with analogies! My major at Berklee was music synthesis so it’s also very satisfying that Berklee has a great educator explaining these ideas online and free to start. You want to go in deeper than take their online courses!
Absolutely fantastic presentation and information fashioned in a way that is very easy to grasp. Much appreciated!
This is was just the explanation I needed. I could never grasp what the envelope did. The LFO Cutoff explanation just changed my life.
Your a genius, this is a great presentation. It quite literally explained everything I need to understand how a basic sound system works. I'm working on a project right now in the Unreal Engine that requires me to generate my own sounds and I haven't explored those systems yet so this really helped me a ton.
This video blew my mind. Helped clarify so many terms that get thrown around in such a thoughtful way!
Thank you!
I learned more from this video then I did in science class
sorrowful tears lol fr
sørrowful tears mdxxxxxxx vv vvvvv.

This is just one of the best videos in the history of the internet. Amazingly entertaining and clear.
Funny how I've used many of these terms every day for my entire life and never contextualized them with their core physical meaning. Thanks for a great video and I'll never let my ego talk me out of watching a "basics" lecture again. 🙂
Thank you!
Wish I would have found this over the summer when I first got started with synths! Great presentation!
one of the best instructional videos I've seen in a long time - great job!
Erin - you are a TRULY gifted teacher!
thank you for a quick and informative lesson...I had to go over and look at my synth several times during the video to see how it all ties together!
Well done, I've never seen these topics explained so simply and clearly!
This was so extremely on point and descriptive. It helped me visualize concepts that I'd already learned long ago but hadn't ground into my understanding as solidly as I have now.
Absolutely excellent presentation, thank you very much.
This video is so informative that I had to take notes.
Exactly!
Holy crap my life has meaning now! :D
I'm years late to finding this video but absolutely love it. Just dipping my toes in sound production and hadn't found someone explaining these things just the way I wanted until now.
Thanks for the video!
THANK YOU!!! This video broke it down so succinctly... really rich examples and metaphors as well which is super helpful.
beautifully succinct. not a word wasted, not a word short. Thank you - I will be checking out other berklee videos

This is super helpful & accessible. Thank you for making & sharing! I really liked the non musical parallels to the concepts, like apples & spaghetti strainers. Y'all rock!
Wow! Thank for simplifying something I have spent years trying to understand.
Wow I’ve never learned anything so quickly. Amazing video.

9 Min Video that too me an hour to go through as I was taking notes!
wow, thank you for great info explained in a way that all can understand.
Excellent job. Acknowledging the limits of the format and the wish to be brief, I would have truly appreciated a section on signal path(s), OR a linked part 2. If there's a part 2, I am missing it?
This was such a perfect video. Holy thanks

Great video - thoroughly enjoyed it
This has helped me so much.
You forgot Granny Smith apples which are by the greatest of all of the apples. The video was very insightful but this greatly upset me.
Ambrosia, take it from someone who handed out apple samples
It's all about the honeycrisps, baby.
